New York Times: Sick of Constant Pings, They’re Sending Texts at the Speed of Carrier Pigeon. This link goes to a gift article. “A lot of time has gone into speeding up human communication, from the telegram to the Pony Express to shouting loudly from a rooftop. Lately, at least two apps have asked: Was a carrier pigeon the pinnacle?”

#ChatGPT’s latest update for #macOS includes an #Apple #Messages #plugin, allowing users to read, search, and send messages through #iMessage, #SMS, and #RCS. The plugin is available on all plans and requires user approval for sending messages. Other updates include pinned chat syncing across devices, shared thread snapshots, and site co-editing for workspace members. https://9to5mac.com/2026/08/20/chatgpt-update-adds-apple-messages-integration-on-mac/?eicker.news #tech #news #ainews

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/aug/09/russian-family-finland-reprisals-pro-ukraine-activism. Why, #Finland, why? This #Russian couple support #Ukraine - if they're sent back to #Russia, they'll end up in a #penal #colony in #Siberia! "Nikita & Olga Belov fled their homeland in 2022 after attracting the attention of Russian #authorities - including #military summons, threatening #messages & attempts to locate them - after expressing #opposition to the full-scale #invasion of Ukraine."

Has no one yet come up with a way to delete all but the most recent few messages/photos from an #iOS #Messages thread? Don’t want to delete the thread (group chat). Too many hundreds of messages to use the function to select them one by one to delete. Apple has never seen fit to offer a select all button and then deselect the recent few. And no, due to wanted to keep other old threads, I won’t use the auto delete older messages option.

#france #israel #palestine : #students / #competition / #poems / #messages

„About 60 students from #Gaza, aged 18 to 25, responded to a call from the French Institute of Gaza and the NGO Academic Solidarity with Palestine by submitting poems or videos in which they shared, in French, their feelings and hopes in the face of the war that has affected them for almost three years.“

Using your real name on Google but a pseudonym on social media or vice versa?

You might be doxing yourself if you publish a YouTube link with a query string (the url bit that starts with a question mark).

Someone who clicks the link may be presented with a popup asking if they want to accept messages from [user name].

So, hi John.

Also, f**** Google.

#RCS läuft über #Google #Messages und die greifen natürlich wieder nach den vollen Daten.... Besser gleich aufs wirklich sichere #Threema setzen, so wie es 12 Mio. kluge Bundesbürger auch schon gemacht haben! Und denk dran: #Signal (USA) ist auch nur #WhatsApp (USA) in blau!
